Discussant and Facilitator: Joan Wolkin

I work with couples and individuals in Manhattan and Highland Park, New Jersey. With couples, the focus is to identify unproductive relationship patterns, understand and then change those patterns, toward building, deepening and maintaining a strong, close bond. Additionally, I have over 25 years experience working with individuals who want to address relationship concerns, major life transitions, as well as those struggling with anxiety, depression, eating issues and/or a history of trauma and/or abuse.
